Acts 28:11-31 - "It's the hope that kills you." As any sports fan knows, getting excited and optimistic about a team can be scary as you feel like you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. But biblical hope isn't like that of sport or any other walk of life. Biblical hope is rooted in God's promises and the end of the book of Acts guarantees us God is going to accomplish what He said He was going to do.
Since Genesis 1 God's promise has been to fill all the earth with His presence and glory, for peoples from all the nations to know Him. Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ this mission is now coming to fruition! Thus, we journey now with Paul through the rest of the book of Acts as Jew and Gentile alike across the ancient world hear the offer of salvation proclaimed all the way to Rome itself.
